Wausau Daily Herald – Kids’ book illustrator creates books that pop is an article on Robert Sabuda, one of the great artists of pop-up books. My favorite part of the article is the end where he says:
“Parents are busy. They want time with their kids to be well spent. … There’s greater attention to children’s books now as a backlash to the technology in kids’ lives. Parents feel the need to give an alternative to all the media saturation.”

Pew Study on Teens Online
Pew Internet & American Life Project did a study on Teen Content Creators and Consumers that speaks to the patterns that teens are showing in creating online content and using online services. This is a great study to glance at even if you don’t have a lot of time. The format makes it very browsable, allowing you to read only the sections you are most interested in. Important information for those of us who work with teens, especially those who work with teens and technology.
